SNESGT Ver 0.230 beta6 out

Dealing with Vista makes me want to strangle people. Hrm if you have XP installed anywhere it'll probably work okay. I'd go and try it on my Vista box but, it probably wouldn't help much at all.

Edit: Okay tried it and of coarse it was pointless since it worked. Something else is wrong with your system if it's complaining about a DEP problem. There's other people better suited for troubleshooting here though. If it works there's not much I can do to help.

does your processor support Hardware DEP Spike?

Awakened · Post by **Awakened** » Mon Sep 01, 2008 5:58 pm

I noticed my Athlon 64 X2 6000+ does support hardware DEP. I might try running it on my XP laptop later, it'll pry work there.

*edit* OK, tried running it on the laptop and, surprisingly, when trying to load a ROM it crashed with "snesgt.exe has encountered a problem and needs to close". Nothing about DEP popped up when it happened like it does with Vista. According to Wikipedia I would have gotten a "To help protect your computer, Windows has closed this program." pop up in XP if DEP was the problem, but who knows.

you can easily disable hardware DEP in your BIOS and then re-run the program as a test.

LOL.

It's funny the way franpa is always getting warnings.

Uh, he's right. Well, half-right. You can on some motherboards.

half-right doesn't really cut it, hence the warning.

So unfair, yet it's just right.

I never said it is available in all motherboards.

I think it does in this case. At least it deserves a lesser warning, as the ability to disable it is quite common nowadays.

The past 2 motherboards I've purchased aren't exactly high end boards in the slightest and one is 4 years old... both support the option in the BIOS, I doubt many 'new' motherboards these days, lack this feature.

ASUS P5LD2 rev. 1 and P5KC.

no dummy, you did:

You made the assumption it's available on all motherboards by making the above statement - ergo you said the same.

That was in refrence to my previous posts, my current one assumes that motherboards made in 2004 or newer have the feature and older motherboards most likely don't.

that has nothing to do with my previous post.

On a whim I tried loading an unzipped ROM with this today and it didn't crash. If it had fast forward, rewind, and hq filters (features I've become far too accustomed to in ZSNES) I'd pry switch from ZSNES to this. Speed and sound are perfect. I love the GUI. It was pretty easy to zip through and configure everything. I wouldn't mind ZSNES 2.0 looking like this

It lacks things like a cheating ability (and no, to me CEP isn't a viable cheater for this).

hq filters (features I've become far too accustomed to in ZSNES)

The emulator supports Kega Fusion filter plugins.

Solves that issue entirely.

I agree with you however, the emulator does have a tendency to grow on you.

Awakened · Post by **Awakened** » Tue Sep 16, 2008 12:55 am

Haha, I looked through the sparse readme and somehow missed that bit of info on filter plugin support.

*edit*

This piece of information fixed my problem with loading zipped ROMS. Read The Fucking Manual indeed.

*edit 2*
Ok, found the function key fastforward option. That leaves rewind. SNESGT doesn't stutter like ZSNES does (I've tried a few things to fix this, blame it on Vista?) as well. I kinda liked being able to rewind though; Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time is one of my favorite games

You can use the Kega filters?! Huh, no wonder beta 5 crashed when I used them, but now they're supported...this I gotta see. And yes, sound emulation is very accurate (Bsnes is no. 1, though).

Is it just me, or in Super Mario World (U) [!] there's a one second lag for sound effects? Jump and see what happens.

Huh! I never noticed that...

King Of Chaos · Post by **King Of Chaos** » Tue Sep 16, 2008 4:02 am

It's weird. Even with default settings sound effects are delayed by nearly a second in it.
